A rabbit saw a beautiful vegetable garden. He wanted to enjoy the vegetables, but how was he going to get in? Well, he found a hole in the fence but, alas, he was too fat to get through the hole.
Then he decided, "I know. I'll not eat for a couple of days then I'll be thin enough to get through the hole." And that's what he did. After a few days he was thin enough to fit through the hole. But now he had another problem. Since he stuffed himself, he was now too fat to get back through the hole.
Now he is wondering how he's going to get OUT of the garden. Then it comes to him. "I'll not eat for a couple of days then I'll lose weight and I'll be thin enough to fit back through the hole." And that's what he did. After a few days he was thin enough to fit through the hole and he was able to get out of the garden. But,you know Brothers, Rabbit didn't take anything into the garden; neither did he bring anything out. The same with us and material things. We didn't come into the world with any material goods and, when we die, we don't take away out. Shows the futility of striving for material things, don't you think?
"Just as one came from his mother's womb, naked he will go away, just as he came. And he cannot carry away anything for all his hard work."
